Brynne Tillman is the LinkedIn Whisperer and CEO of Social Sales Link, and the author of The LinkedIn Sales Playbook, a Tactical Guide to Social Selling. For over a decade she has been teaching Entrepreneurs, sales teams, and business leaders how to leverage LinkedIn for social selling.
Brynne got her start in sales from a young age, eventually realizing she had both a knack and passion for it. Her formal introduction to sales began in 1990 when, as a bored inbound order-taker for a Fortune 1000 company, she began to ask callers questions about their transactions and why they were purchasing specific products. This technique proved so effective that by the age of 24, she was training an entire call center on how to evolve from order takers to a sales solutions team.
As a former sales trainer and personal producer, Brynne adopted all of the traditional sales techniques and adapted them to the new digital world, specifically through LinkedIn. She guides professionals to establish a thought leader and subject matter expert brand, find and engage the right targeted market, and leverage clients and networking partners for warm introductions to qualified buyers.
